Senate approves Iran resolution
(CNN) - The U.S. Senate in an after-midnight Saturday vote in Washington passed overwhelmingly a non-binding resolution stating that the United States will not rely on a containment policy, if Iran develops a nuclear weapon, and urged President Barack Obama to continue economic sanctions and diplomatic pressure to force Iran to stop any such weapons development.

That was easy,
Now try something a little harder .
I am impressed that the senate got past Turtle Neck McConnell's filibuster.
Umm, why the resolution, that's what the President is already doing? This was obviously GOP political theater to appease their moronic base. I guess it also explains why the GOP senators blocked a jobs bill for veterans, looks like they want to extend the active service of our armed forces by sending them to Iran.
Israel seeks war on Iran to keep lid on 9/11 - Search that !
Iran yeah iran with a reactor core under a rock mountain makes sense too the republicans how long will republicans fight with President Obama????????????
I think it is nonsense, and just demonstration of the US Military total control of Washington during her war games, so I would have to also play my bit part and say, "I don't support another US war."
Iran is a financial threat to Washington. A war against Iran would be the most costly war ever, as it puts our nation into a direct conflict with Russia, India, and China's ally. I know what being beaten smells like before hand because I am a sober 30 year old man living in the USA who read the paper during our failed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. I see that this is proof that we have lost a great battle for traction in this region, and we are about to retract from Afghanistan, and attempt to hold Iraq with a series of surges. This pattern will last for the rest of our natural lives.
